Well, I asked several GTP owners about running a wet shot before the supercharger and they all told me the same thing. First, they have no clue about what you guys over here say about the fuel eating the teflon. Most of them think that was the silliest thing they've heard. But they also highly reccomend not doing it. The reason being that (at least with the SC 3.8 found in GTP's) they have fuel puddling issues when running a wet shot throught the charger. Now, granted, most of the guys who experienced puddling problems were trying to run huge shots without a controller or RPM window switch. But it's still something to ponder before slapping a wet kit on your SC'ed J. The best bet would be to run small enough of a shot that you can do a dry kit, and anything big enough to require a wet kit should be accompanied by at least an RPM window switch to avoid spraying at lower RPMs.
Just some food for thought there guys.
I talked to a superchagerger engineer from Eaton and he did tell me that it would eat the coating off the charger blades.........

Oh, and PTFE also resistant to alcohol up to 100*C, which is about 212*F
so.... really?
Wow thread revival. Anyone here tried a wet shot in the past 6 years?
1. I would say n2o after the blower. The reason for this is because of what is called "latent heat of vaporization". As your n2o goes from highly compressed liquid to a gas, the pressure drop dramatically decreases temperature, reducing your intake charge temps as well. Lower charge temps mean less chance of pre-ignition, which means you can run more advance, boost, compression, etc. It also simplifies your install since its just putting a nozzle in a hose, instead of disassembling your blower.
2. Eaton blowers are a screw-type supercharger. The famous Weiand Roots-type blower is exactly that, it creates boost by crudely pumping air at the engine at such a volume that positive pressure is made. Screw and centrifugal (including turbosuperchargers) blowers actually compress the air inside the blower themselves, and have higher adiabatic efficiency, in other words, they don't heat the air up as much as a Roots-type blower, but don't look as cool as a monstrous iron lung and dual carbs erupting out of the hood.
Wow this thread is old but I have a question on page one they were talking about the FPR and running a wide band o2 and made it sound like if you ran a small dry shot let's say a 50 that the wide band would catch on and the FPR would self adjust and compansate for the slight lean condition caused by the dry shot? Or am I totally misunderstanding what was said?

No, the wideband reads your AFR and the fpr keeps pressure constant. You would need a tune ...

sorry but this is incorrect. eaton blowers such as ours are roots type and heat up quite a bit, actually. especially the 2.4 LD9 eaton m45 supercharger as it has no heat exchanger or intercooler ability whatsoever. meth/water injection is it. our eaton m45 supercharger is just an air pump, it moves air faster than what the engine can take in creating boost. but it does not actually "compress" the air.
we do not have a "wideband" we have a narrowband... oxygen sensor. it can only read the oxygen content of the exhaust and sends signals to the pcm as such. it does this in what is called "lambda". the o2 sensor does not know exact air fuel ratio, it only knows if the exhaust is rich, lean, or stoich. so, i would think it might be able to bump up the fuel pressure if it actually worked at wide open throttle, but it doesnt. the PCM goes into a mode called (its either closed loop or open loop i cant ever seem to remember which is which) and only operates with the fixed perameters inside the coding. the o2 sensor basically shuts off if you will at wide open throttle so no it would not tell the pcm to add fuel for a lean condition if you sprayed nitrous at WOT. the only way to do it properly is to either use a wet kit or have the PCM tuned for the nitrous.
M45/OS crank/2.4 snout. It's nice to be injected but I love being blown!

What does the Latent Heat of Vaporization have to do with a pressure drop?
The Latent Heat of Vaporization applies when your changing the state of matter, ie liquid NO to gaseous NO. The energy to change the states is taken from the air in the intake charge. That is what drops the temperature in the intake.
The cooling from the pressure change would actually occur in the NO bottle itself. Its similar to using a can of air duster and the can getting cold and frosty.
